This week, we're covering the first objective in Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's book Groundswell : listening (chapter 5). is a more powerful question than “What do you think?” But what if you asked questions instead?

In Chapter 3, McCloud identifies six different methods by which comic artists transition from one panel to another (for example, scene-to-scene or action-to-action). Level 5 is a question mark in my mind. Ideas design participatory museum interactives. Why not also for social engagement? How do we get there?

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true. Alexis Madrigal in his post Gladwell on Social Media and Activism also questions the black and white description of strong/weak ties that Gladwell states.
